WILL SERVE ONE YEAR.
Wm.- C. Sterry, the Youthful Horse
Thief, Sentenced.
Agazzie Indicted For Murder in the
First Degree.
A Jury in the First National Bank
VS.. Swan Bros. Case.

When Judge Maginnis assembled to the
judicial rostrum yesterday morning and
ordered the bailif to announce that court
for this district was in session and, ready
for the transaction of business, it was
evident that more work would be accom-
plished than had .been done the previous
day.
Several cases of minor importance were
given the attention their m de-
manded hurriedly, but carefully. Very
few civil suits are of interest to many
readers, and no attempt will be made to
report the trial and result of small litiga-
tons.
Young William c. Sterry, the indis,
Greet lad who purloined a horse from the
ranch of John Moran, was the person
charged with grand larceny in a docu-
ment called a true BILL" which was
submitted by Foreman Chas. Miller on
behalf of the grand jury.
Upon his appearance before the Judge
the prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sen
fenced to serve a term of one year in the
Laramie county penitentiary.
Theodore Agazzie, the slayer of Gil
duff at Silver Crown, is not in so pleasant
a frame OF mind as when bound over in
the sum OF SIS, 900 at the preliminary ex-
animation. An Indictment was returned
charging him with murder in the first de-
gree. That day he smiled cunningly and
spoke hopefully. Yesterday he was visi-
bly, affected when informed as to the ma
ture of the charge preferred.
The tragic death of Ed. Bryant several
weeks since was also a very unfortunate
occurance for 'Frenchy," as the prisoner
is called, as he was an eve witness to the
killing and circumstances which led to it
and was one of the principal witnesses for
the defense. Though a majority of the
Silver Crown miners clamor for the con
viction of Agazzie he has a number of
steadfast friends and able counsel has
been employed to labor in his behalf.
Andrew Aston is a young Texan who
was arrested some three months since by
Deputy Malcomb Campbell of Albany
County, upon advice of Sheriff Sharpless.
1t was alleged that he had stolen a horse,
and accoutrements belonging to Red Tom
Swan. An indictment formulated by the
prosecuting attorney charging the prisoner
with a~ppropriating the property mention
ed, was returned by the grand jury as
mot a true bill" An amended charge
alleging the theft of a saddle valued at
$50 was endorsed as proper by the inves-
tlgating committee of twelve.
AT the afternoon session the grand Jury
returned several indictments. But one
will be made public at present, that charg-
ing John Lynch with the commission of a
diabolical crime. Accused parties men.
toned in the remaining bills are still at
large. Under these circumstances the
necessity of withholding their names is
obvious.
The case Of the First National bank VS..
Swan Bros, ct al, is an important suit,
involving as it does the sum of S25, DOC
and costs attendant upon highIPriced liti
cation. A jury was demanded for the
trial of this suit, and several hours were
consumed in a search for twelve unbiased,
unprejudiced and disinterested citizens
willing to listen to the evidence and re-
turn a verdict for SO per day. At 1886
last evening the twelfth man required
plead guilty to the charge of being an
American citizen, was cross questioned by
the attorneys and refused permission from
the Judge to depart.
Following are names of the iurymen: A.
A. Proctor, G. H. Irish, E. Kapp, A B..
Hyde, j. M. Freeman, H. B. Bartlett,
B. r. Goodell, E. L. Holloway, j.. A.
England, Chas. L. Coffey and B. f.
Pearson.
After fairly starting upon this case
court adjourned until the usual hour this
morning.
